Farnham Pump. A Hand Powered Water Pump. Relocated in the late 70s(?) to the nearby Farnham Park Sports Ground, then moved back to the Green at the corner of Farnham Park Lane and the A355 in the mid 80s(?).

I think this marker is intended for CORK TREE HOUSE - a large pre-war Rectory. In the 1960's it was demolished and Rectory Close was slotted into its grounds, plus a new purpose built Rectory, [this in turn, has become a private house] and Church Hall was built on two corner plots of the Close.

Although, trees hide the house I would say this Farnham Royal Cottage and Field Cottage. In the Victorian period it was lived in by The Hon. Elizabeth Montaque and then Lady Wellesley, after her husband Queen Victoria's Chaplain died. Royalty visited them here on several occasions.

Large country house just off the village square with old barn. Manor House?

This still exists but has been moved to the left (in the photograph) clear on the road. A mini roundabout is in its place.

Isn't this the Farnham Royal Pump?

Yes, this was the central position of the attractive tiled canopied village pump until 1972. Firstly it was put in storage in Slough and then rebuilt in Farnham Park Playing Field.

It is now located south west only yards away, on the Green, near the Dukes Head. It was moved and rebuilt in April 1994 mostly from the original materials. The pumping mechanism, although not working, was bolted back in position on its central post. The village was overjoyed to welcome it back and it now sits happily with the recent village sign and the flag pole.

This is the Farnham Royal Pump thats has been moved to a nearby housing area. It did actually have an old pump inside it at one time I seem to remember but its not there anymore.

Thanks to everyone who suggested Farnham Royal, that's spot-on. We can update the catalogue and the correct location will appear here in due course. Great job.

When first looking at a modern aerial view I thought this could not be Fareham Royal, but with a closer look at the geometry of the road junctions it is a perfect match. It would appear that about half the original buildings have disappeared and many new one have been built. The unfortunate well or butter cross (unlikely to be a bus shelter in the middle of the road) clearly did not coincide with the centre of the roundabout and so got swept away. The gable end to the right (east) of the shelter remains and is now painted white or cream.

Yes, Farnham Royal, I'm surprised most the old buildings have gone, quite a posh area, our teachers (Wm Penn County Secondary, nothing posh!)used to drink at The Jolly Butcher, Can I identify it?

That looks like a village well in the centre but I can't find it on Images of England so I suspect it's no longer standing.
